Grace!

For Friday, August 25, 2023:

Romans 6:14 NLT: “Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.”

Interesting. It’s having the Law – knowledge of right and wrong – that makes mankind vulnerable to sin. We could always make a mistake and choose incorrectly!

But Paul writes that we are no longer living under the Law. Believers live under God’s grace; believers are forgiven children of God. Our sins have been washed away! Jesus went on ahead to prepare our place in the hereafter. We’re “IN!”

God’s laws are still a good idea for living, but obedience is no longer our ticket to heaven. We are saved by grace through faith!
